i just got 4 cute little orange and yellow guppies yesterday. My DADDD was there but he wasnt fuckin watching my little brother this morning and he poured a ton of food into it and my dad left so noone knows how to clean it. if they eat to much will they die? I JUST FRICKEN GOT THEM AND I AM SOOOO FRICKEN ANGRY! will they die?
Answers:
No they will not die just don't feed them for the rest of the day. To clean the tank just put the guppies into another bowl, spray everything off and put it back into the tank. Make sure you water temp. is at 78 degrees or the fish will go into shock and die. I have about 75 guppies and 2 kids trust me they will be fine. They only eat what they want and the rest sits on bottom till they want to eat again and then they will pick at bottom. Here is a web site that will help you, just type in guppy and you can read all kinds of information about them. Good luck. http://www.wikipedia.org/
Fish should only have small amounts of food at a time because they don't know when to stop. Eventually their stomachs will rupture. Strain all the food out of the tank at once.
get rid of the food
clean the tank
if you dont know how go to a pet store
eventually you will have to learn how to clean the place they live in to prolong thr life
Take your fish net and put them into another bowl while you clean the tank. I don't know if they'll die but i wouldn't wait to find out.
I would take them out of the water asap and clean the tank, it's the only way to get rid of the extra food and may be the only thing that will save the fish. Then don;t feed them for 24-48 hours incase they did over eat. then they should be fine. If they die I'd make your Dad and brother replace them!
probably not. my little brother did that once and they have been living for about 3 years.
maybe if you get them out and change the water they will live its worth a try
if you dont hurry up and clean the tank yes they will die to clean
get a frash bowl of water and use a fish net take the fishes out
of the tank and put the fishes in a frash bowl of water clean the tank and then when tank is clean put fishes back in the tank if you dont your f**ked
from ya main man tony
no just clean it as soon as you can
why would you get a tank and not know how to clean it? my friend's two year old dumped a whole can of flakes in my goldfish tank and i knew to act immediately. i had a large net and dipped out as much as i could until i could find something to put the fish in while i cleaned it. first off, if they don't eat theirselves to death, the food will rot and kill them being left uneaten in the tank. what you need to do, if they're still alive is get a clean bucket or large bowl and put their water into it and then use your net to dip the fish out into the bucket. cover it with a towel so nothing will get in or out of the bucket and quickly get your tank and clean it, including the gravel. a complete water change is necessary and make sure you condition the water because chlorine and chemicals will surely kill the little guys. make sure the water temps match pretty good so not to put them in shock. wait just a little while and then put them back in the tank. hopefully something will get done in time to save them. if not, buy some more and start over. and please for the guppies sake, get the food up and out of your brother's reach, hide it or do something.
Relax, they'll only eat what they can manage.
No, just don't feed them for a few days-fish can go a few days without eating. Use a small aquarium net to scoop out what you can that's floating around. If you don't have a siphon, need to buy one-need it for water changes anyway. Clean the gravel/bottom of the tank well, changing about 20-25% of the tank water.
they won't nessacarly die but can have bladder problems try to remove all of the food do you have a gravel vac? if so that would help alot
you can scoop as much as possible out cause i do think fish can eat theirself to death im not sure or you can change the tank also
Get as much food out as you can, if it's already sunken try getting the gravel out and rinsing the food out of it, do a partial water change and catch any floating bits. This may take a long time but you don't really have any other choice!!
you need to take the fish to the hospital and have their stomachs pumped or they will surely die.
you should use a net to get the food out or they could die
i would hope not did you change water
